Yakult From Hong Kong

The hunt for extraordinary things that we don't usually see here in the Philippines once again has begun. My sister went on a trip to Hong Kong just recently. She didn't spend her time on a group tour, instead, she walked the streets of Hong Kong looking for something unique to discover. One amusing find are these packs of Hong Kong Yakult. Yakult originated from Japan which is a mixture of skimmed milk with the bacterium known as Lactobacillus casei Shirota. Here in the Philippines, it is also being sold in packs of 5 small bottles. The amount per bottle for a kid is just right. But for us adults, a small bottle isn't enough. So what makes it different? Though, Hong Kong Yakult packaging is the same, the bottle itself is slightly taller and wider compared to what we have here in the Philippines.

In a way, we enjoyed a little more from the usual. The kids were amazed by it. I mean, they're stuck with the very same Yakult their own parents had since childhood. Even the people who haven't been anywhere else would probably say WOW!, NICE!, hope we have sizes to choose from! and all the yakult wishes one can ask for. I wish for at least a 500ml Yakult bottle :D What's yours?
